Stephen Bunting has had a brilliant start to 2018 showing a real return to form and that is reflected in the updated Pro Tour Order of Merit with the Bullet potentially gaining further seeding for European Tour 9&10.

Bunting as a result will edge Kim Huybrechts who will like the next few will have to go through the European Qualifier to gain qualification like Jelle Klaasen.

This is of course if Gary Anderson doesn’t enter any of the remaining European Tours. This is unlikely though with him stating he only wanted to enter UK tournaments.

For Bunting though he could face Michael van Gerwen when the seeds face each other later in the tournaments; but off current form, he could give the World Number One a serious game.
